Hi I am in the USA. I couldn't find another forum for just foot pain that wasn't involving some kind of sport. I hurt my left foot by lifting something heavy...a few months ago. I developed tendonitis. The pain was very severe for a while. I had to see a dr on an emergency basis and finally got an ice pack and crutches. The crutches were horrible, meaning I ended up hurting my other foot trying to use them.. That was 3 weeks ago but the pain persists. I was told 4-6 months for healing..is this is the case? Any tips other than just elevating and ice? I hesitate to get into medicines (I will discuss over the counter ones if you want) but I did use arnica cream because of a recommendation by the foot dr i went to recently and it didn't really work.

Thank you very much, I am an older female, I used to walk a lot and now my feet pretty much have no arch, I was told. I don't want to develop chronic tendonitis. I am open to all suggestions.
